Sibling's Chapter 4: Explanations
As soon as Ron and Hermione entered the room they were ordered by Molly to go to their own rooms and go to sleep. Along with the twins, Ron and Hermione made their way up the stairs.
Ron stopped Hermione in front of her door. "Well goodnight." He said. "Goodnight Ron." She replied. She opened the door surprised not to see Ginny. "Where's Ginny?" Ron asked. "I didn't see her come out of your room, maybe she is still there?" she asked.
Ron climbed the stairs to his room with Hermione right behind him. He opened the door to find his sister in bed with his best friend. Hermione couldn't see anything so she moved past him to look into the room. He was about to say something when she clamped her hand on his mouth. "I will take my hand away if you don't start yelling." She said. "Follow me." She grabbed his hand and led the way back to her room, but not before pulling the door shut to Ron's room.
She pulled him into her room and shut the door behind him. "Mione, what are we doing?" he asked. "We are just gonna go to sleep." She said. "Okay, I'll take Ginny's bed." "No, I mean, can you just hold me?" she asked. He nodded. He kicked off his shoes and crawled into Hermione's bed. She followed and put her head on his chest. "Goodnight Ron." "Goodnight Mione."
Back downstairs
Joey was pacing in front of the fireplace. Sirius, Remus, Molly and Arthur were standing by watching. Joey was fiddling with the locket around her neck. Molly noticed this. "May I see that, please." She asked. "Sure." Molly got up from the couch and walked over to Joey. She opened the precious locket. Inside she saw a family. James holding a girl on one side and Lily holding Harry on the other. She recognized Lily, James and Harry. "I could only guess that the little girl in the picture is you." She said. Joey nodded. Molly turned to Arthur and said "Looks like Harry has a sister."
The four of them looked at Joey for and explanation. "Let me start at the beginning. Yes, I am Harry's sister. When I was young my parents took me to the ministry and they decided that I was a liability, so I was sent away. Technically I am not considered a wizard like the rest of you. I was classified as a fire starter, even though I do have other powers. My parents didn't want to take the chance of, he-who-must-not-be-named, finding me and using me against them. So I was sent away. A month later Dumbledore contacted me and told me that my parents were dead. He told me to stay in LA because it was safer. I used my mother's maiden name since that day. The Potter name is too conspicuous and if I had used it then HE would've found me. I stayed away to keep Harry safe."
"But why come back now?" asked Sirius. "Instinct. Every summer I found bruises on myself and I don't know how I made them. When I found out that Harry stayed at the Dursely's for the summer, I suddenly knew why the bruises were showing up. Don't ask me how but Harry and I have this strange connection."
"Maybe Dumbledore would know?" Remus asked. "So you have been in LA all this time and Harry doesn't know about you!" Molly said. "I don't think that I should tell him." Joey replied. "Sooner or later, he is bound to find out about you. You have to tell him, Joey." Sirius said.
Before anyone else had a chance to say anything a loud pop came from the kitchen. Everyone moved into the kitchen to see Charlie standing there. He nodded a hello at everyone before his face fell to a familiar face. "Joey?" he asked. She looked at him with wide eyes. Before anyone knew what was happening she had bolted out into the front yard and had changed into the raven. Charlie had ran to the front door and had yelled her name in time to see a raven taking off.
